A California Dinner,

We attended a dinner party recently in
this county, the peculiar feature of which
was that the entire menu consisted of ar
ticles grown, raised. made or caught
within ten miles of where we dined. We
had green turtle soup and Spanish mack
erel caught in the ocean near by. A
young steer from the herd of our host
supplied the filet of beef The pepper and
lines for seasoning, and the olive oil for
the mayonnaise, as well as the guavas
which furnished the jelly, came from the
garden under our window. All manner
of vegetables, including green corn, Gu
Cumbers and green peas, with oranges,
Strawberries and peaches, We're likewise
from the garden aforesaid. We had can
vas back duck from the lagoon below the
house, and quail from the mesa above
Banana fritters were prepared from the
banana plants which grew in the ravine at
the foot of the garden, and we drank as
fine sherry and claret made from grapes
grown on the ranch as were ever imported
from Spain or France. There was no cof-
fee, for that had not been raised. but there
were tea plants growing in the garden
from which We might have had tea il so
inclined. The raisins and zante currants
for the pudding were also from the
ranch.-Ssn Diego Call Union.
